Val di Noto
Val di Noto is a picturesque valley located in the southeastern part of Sicily, Italy. It is renowned for its stunning baroque architecture, which emerged after a devastating earthquake in 1693. The valley is home to several towns, including Noto, Modica, and Ragusa, each showcasing unique historical buildings and vibrant cultural heritage.
In 2002, Val di Noto was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its exceptional examples of late Baroque town planning and architecture. Visitors can explore beautiful churches, palaces, and public squares that reflect the artistic and architectural achievements of the period.
